1. James Cameron on the Destructiveness of the Animal Agriculture
Industry

Movie director James Cameron says it well: “You
can’t be an environmentalist, you can’t be an ocean steward, without
truly walking the walk... And you can’t walk the walk in the world of
the future, the world ahead of us, the world of our children, not
eating a plant-based diet.” The animal agriculture industry pollutes
the Earth, uses resources unsustainably and contributes greatly to
global warming.

Indeed, we cannot call ourselves stewards of
God's Creation if we support the animal agriculture industry that has
caused and continuous to cause so much devastation on Earth.
Transitioning to a plant-based diet is the most effective and
practical solution to bring healing and restoration on Earth.

A new study
published this month in IOP Publishing's journal Environmental
Research Letters concludes that the effects of global warming will be
felt for thousands of years as far as the rising of sea levels goes.
Professor Huybrechts, co-author of the study, said that "Mankind
should limit the concentration of greenhouse gases at the lowest
possible level as soon as possible. The only realistic option is a
drastic reduction of the emissions. The lower the ultimate warming
will be, the less severe the ultimate consequences will be."

It's imperative we curb
the emissions of green-house gases or the generations to come will pay
greatly for our irresponsibility. Can we really call ourselves good
stewards of God's Creation when we ignore the red flags that are so
evident? I don't think so.

For I was hungry and you
gave me food.… [A]s you did it to one of the least of these my
brethren, you did it to me.

Sadly, while tens of millions of
people die annually from starvation-related causes and close to a
billion suffer from malnutrition, more than 30% of the world’s
harvested grain is fed to animals being raised for slaughter; in the
United States, the figure is around 70%. We choose to ignore the
plight of the poor and the hungry around the world if we consume
animal products.

Science is clear: if we don’t curb greenhouse gas emissions global
warming is going to cause much hardship globally. One of the
catastrophic effects of global warming is the increase in poverty
worldwide, especially in those poor countries were poverty rates
already are very high. Climate change is causing extreme heat waves,
declining global food stocks, loss of ecosystems and biodiversity,
life-threatening sea level rise and water shortages. Jim Yong
Kim, World Bank President states, “We will never end poverty if we
don’t tackle climate change. It is one of the single biggest
challenges to social justice today.”
